A Sick Day

Ok I'm officially K.O.-ed.

Went to school for a project meeting today and after that I just knew I couldn't stay any longer for the next 2 lessons. So I left earlier...

Thank God for my dad who came and fetched me home... :) Upon reaching home, I totally knocked out. Slept for 5 good hours. :)

Went to see a doctor, reason is only to take a MC. So I explained to him all the symptoms that I had.

1) Gastric reflux last week
2) Dizzy spells throughout the whole week
3) Gasping for air thingy

He attributed 2) to lack of sleep. Reasonable enough since I usually have to reach school by 8am, and normally I'd only sleep for 5 hours plus. Ever since school starts... :( I miss sleeping!

He said that our brain is like a computer. If you overwork it, it's gonna shut down. So, never underestimate the power of sleep!

And he attributed 1) & 3) to anxiety and stress. They cause excessive production of gastric acid and also cause me to hyperventilate.

So, anyhow, he gave me this pack of "blood circulation" and "giddiness" tablets. Of which a nurse, or whoever was that, told me that I have to finish the "blood circulation" tablets. I asked what was that for??? And she told me it's for my nerves and told me to JUST EAT THEM... (0.0)

Obviously, she wasn't sure too. So I spared her the agony and stopped asking further. Now I know why many people are provoked/pissed by the healthcare professionals due to their lack of knowledge as it is their responsibility to know those stuff.

Sigh, but seriously, there is a tremendous amount of info to remember and I hope the public can be more understanding. BUT of course that's not an excuse for not finding out stuff we don't know.

I think the modern public is not very compliant people, they no longer just follow what the doctor says. They need to know the reason behind every intervention and the purpose of them doing it.

That's really good I think. Don't do things blindly! Challenge the doctors (and nurses...)! Tap into their knowledge and make their salary worth. :)
